    Abstract: Environment and health news This issue of the heading on the environment comes out shortly from the publication of the new WHO Guidelines on Air Quality that have further reiterated the danger of air pollutants even at very low concentrations. This important document was accompanied by an article signed by 40 international associations of doctors, scientists and patients in which serious responses to this problem are asked by politics, which we invite you to read in full. As in the previous issues, the main articles published in the monitored journals are summarized here, many of which are precisely those relating to air pollution. All articles and editorials considered worthy of attention are listed by topic, with a summary comment. This number is based on the systematic review of the July and August 2021 publications.

    Abstract: Environment and health As we write, a winter with little rainfall and spring with above-average temperatures have just ended. We are experiencing climate change and have to manage and mitigate the effect of the scarcity of water resources. This does not only affect farmers or growers and ranchers but all of us because the water shortage translates into a reduction in crops. The dissociation between public health policies and climate action, which results in millions of avoidable adverse outcomes and deaths every year is worrying. But maybe something is moving: the Ministry's Ecological Transition Plan proposal published in August 2021 for the first time reports the health benefits of climate action and calls for a health approach in all policies. The importance of soil remediation from toxic substances still highlights the difficulty and complexity of the problem, but also the importance for human health of adequate remediation and control systems. The presence of green spaces in schools and urban areas is confirmed as a winning choice for the children’s health as the indications not using electronic devices in the first 1000 days. This issue summarizes the main articles published in the monitored journals, which allows us to deepen these issues. All articles and editorials deemed worthy of attention are listed divided by topic, with a concise comment. This number is based on the systematic review of the March and April 2022 publications.

    Abstract: Environment and health Amid uncertainties, doubts, and lack of courage, COP 27 ended by postponing many decisions to COP 28 next year. Positive is the decision to create a fund that will be made operative by COP28 on Losses and Damages for island states, the most fragile and vulnerable in the face of climate change. Also positive is the appointment of the first youth delegate of the COP chairmanship. In contrast, the goal of mobilizing $100 billion annually for climate finance was not met, and there was no breakthrough on exiting fossil fuels. Only 33 out of 200 states then submitted plans to implement national temperature reduction commitments. The text on human rights in climate change was deleted entirely, the only positive note being the recognition of the right to a healthy, clean and sustainable environment. Little or nothing has been done on biodiversity. That said, we have no choice but to do prevention with daily actions such as those represented by the flyer attached to this issue of Environment & Health News. These actions represent our contribution to system change and mitigation and adaptation processes. As in previous issues, the main articles published in the monitored journals are summarized here, among which numerous are precisely those related to air pollution. All articles and editorials deemed worthy of attention are listed divided by topic, with a brief commentary. This issue is based on systematic monitoring of the September and October 2022 publications. comment.

    Abstract: Environment and health news This issue of Ambiente e salute news comes out shortly after two significant events: the COP26 which took place in Glasgow in November 2021 with media coverage inversely proportional to the results, and a support initiative, Ride for Their Lives initiative which led pediatricians and international health workers on bicycles from London to Glasgow to reiterate that individual behaviors are also indispensable to protect our planet for the future of our children, and that it is necessary for the medical profession to mobilize much more in this direction. This concept was reiterated once again by the authors and readers of the bmj, as seen in this statement: https://blogs.bmj.com/bmj/2021/10/24/we-must-protect-our-planet-for-our-childrens-future/. Our alleged powerlessness in the face of the complexity of climate change can be overcome through awareness of what we know and what we can put into practice, and this belief also supports this column: https://blogs.bmj.com/bmj/2021/10/24/the-climate-crisis-how-do-we-show-we-care/. As in the previous issues, we summarize here briefly the main articles published in the monitored journals, among which numerous are precisely those relating to climate change and air pollution. This issue is based on the systematic review of the September and October 2021 publications.

    Abstract: Environment and health We are too slow in health protection actions from air pollution; this is the premise of Legambiente' s annual report Mal'aria di città 2023. This report highlights how air pollution is decreasing too slowly, putting the health of Italian citizens at risk with critical issues for some cities related to the days of exceeding the daily limit for PM10. Considering that attention should also be put to the level of other pollutants like such as those of PM2.5 and NO2. WHO has reported recent scientific evidence on the limits of concentrations not to be exceeded, and the European Air Quality Directive proposes downward limits (20 μg/mc) that should be complied with from January 2030 and that are to be considered an intermediate step from the WHO indications (15μg/mc). So there are 7 years to comply, but despite the mitigation actions put in place and tangible emission reductions, there has been no steady decline in air pollutant concentrations in virtually any city; in fact, the average rate of reduction in concentrations nationwide is only 2% for PM10 and 3% for NO2, too slow to reach the target set by the European directive for 2030. Polluted air is still being breathed for too long. As in previous issues, the main articles published in the monitored journals are summarized here, among which numerous are precisely those related to air pollution. All articles and editorials deemed worthy of attention are listed divided by topic, with a brief commentary. This issue is based on systematic monitoring of the publications of November and December 2022.

    Abstract: Environment and health WHO Europe has published the report “A healthy environment in the WHO European Region: why it matters and what steps we can take to improve health” in preparation for the Seventh Ministerial Conference on Environment and Health held in Budapest July 5-7, 2023(7MCEH). The report draws attention to the current state of environment and health and what actions WHO member states can take to ensure future environmental protection; about 15 percent of all deaths could be prevented through healthier environments. Health risks are related to air pollution, water, sanitation and hygiene, chemicals, radiation, and climate change. There are more than 1.4 million deaths in Europe each year associated with preventable environmental health risks. The Budapest Declaration focuses attention on urgent actions to health challenges related to climate change, environmental pollution, biodiversity loss and land degradation to strengthen countries' capacities to meet the commitments made at the conference. Youth were strongly represented at the 7MCEH and were given the opportunity to participate and act on actions that will affect their future. Indeed, member states recognize how the environmental crisis affects the mental health of the younger generation and that protective actions such as increasing urban green areas and contact with nature are needed. Different articles in this issue highlight the importance for a good health of the parent-child-nature relationship, urban green spaces and how eco-anxiety can be a driver of change in a positive direction. This issue of Environment and Health News is based on the systematic review of the May and June 2023 publications.

    Abstract: Environment and health This issue goes to press shortly after the inclusion in the Italian Constitution of a law on Environmental Protection, (8th February 2022) amending two articles: Article 9 in which is added the text: "the Italian Republic ... protects environment, biodiversity and ecosystems, also in the interest of future generations", and Article 41 in which is added the text: "Private economic initiative... may not be carried out in a manner contrary to social utility or which adversely affects security, freedom, human dignity, health and the environment." This is a first step towards the perspective promoted by the Global Alliance for the Rights of Nature: including the rights of Nature or of the Earth in the Constitutions gives them a legal value (https://www.garn.org/). It certainly bodes well to have written down the interests of future generations and the protection of biodiversity. Precisely for this reason we believe that It is important to stress the need to move on to concrete actions, such the necessity to control soil, air and water pollution. All this needs to be resolved now, and further delays are not tolerable. In this issue, which summarizes the main articles published in the monitored journals, a great deal of data has been collected showing that environmental contamination harms human health, and that human health rights are in line with both the duty to protect environment and the right of the Earth to be protected. This issue is based on the systematic monitoring of the November and December 2021 publications.

    Abstract: Environment and health The greatest will the impact of technology on our life be, the greatest will our need for nature be. This is what emerges from this bimonthly review. Some articles put in evidence the importance of soil remediations for the health of people living near polluted sites. Others articles underline children's vulnerability to the heavy metals present in street dust or the risks of pesticides for pregnant women and future offspring. Other articles emphasize the importance of environmental education to increase awareness both in children and teenagers and how activities in natural environments can help cognitive development as well as physical and mental health. Finally, it is highlighted how much work still needs to do be done to train health workers on mitigation and adaptation actions to the impacts of climate change we are experiencing. A part of this work is also up to us pediatricians, and this is one of the tasks of this review. This issue summarizes the main articles published in the monitored journals. All articles and editorials deemed worthy of attention are listed divided by topic, with a concise comment. This number is based on the systematic review of the May and June 2022 publications.

    Abstract: The recent release (March 2023) of the sixth report on climate change by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) presents a comprehensive assessment of the current state of knowledge on the observed impacts and projected risks of climate change. It confirms the strong interactions of natural, social and climate systems and the negative impacts on both nature and people caused by human-induced climate change. The most vulnerable people and systems are disproportionately affected, and climate extremes have led to irreversible impacts. Emphasis is placed on the importance of limiting global warming to 1.5° C if the goal of a just, equitable, and sustainable world is to be realized, and the urgency of taking more ambitious action by highlighting that if we act now, we can still ensure a sustainable and livable future for all. There are feasible and effective adaptation options that can reduce risks to nature and people, and greater ambition is needed in both adaptation and mitigation measures. Climate-resilient development in all human activities is therefore important, and this requires urgent and conscious attention from both policy makers and the general public. In this journal we continue to summarize briefly the main articles published in the monitored journals, including those related to climate change. All articles and editorials deemed worthy of attention are listed divided by topic, with a brief commentary. This issue is based on the systematic monitoring of publications in January and February 2023.
